When to use a grid in user interfaces https://t.co/JjK6yq8vaz There’s an old rule: first make it beautiful, then turn it into a rule. #design #designer #ui #interface #grid #read

Outline is a wonderful app that helps us in our daily work. It seems like it deserves a little redesign. https://t.co/WTOfW97xyg #interface #app #ui #redesign #design #vpn #outline

For example, it is worth preparing a dark interface theme in the dark if most users will be using the dark theme in the dark. #interface #design #image #retouching #eye #person #color #photo #perception #designersthoughts 5/5

Consider the material of the image (it can be an ELT screen or matte paper), the lighting around it, and the length of time the viewer will be in the room with the image. 4/5

Anyone who has tried wearing yellow or orange safety glasses knows that color perception also changes. After wearing such glasses for 5-10 minutes, the world no longer seems so yellow. And when you take off the glasses, the world seems much duller than before. 3/5

Of course, it is important to consider the image's surroundings: what will be around it, above it, on what screen or paper. But it is also worth considering that the human eye adapts not only to light brightness (pupil constriction and dilation), but also to colors. 2/5

Thought 70 Thought about photo retouching: photos and images should be prepared with regard to where and under what conditions they will be viewed. 1/5

The approach is the same as for logos. In both cases, it is a symbol that should trigger associations (with a company or function). And this symbol can be used in many places: in a dark alley or in bright light. #designersthoughts #icon #logo #application #task 2/2

Thought 69 If you finished early and have some time left If, for example, you were given the task of creating an icon, it would be good to show how it works in the interface, how it fits in with the other icons, and whether it is easy to change its color. 1/2

For a couple of hours something good may well be born. Maybe even earlier, maybe for half an hour, but if you know that you do not need to fit into this half hour, then the head will not be distracted for such a term and nervous, and the result will be better. 3/3

Such tasks require diving: not only to get introduced, but also to put your head with this task alone without any distractions for a long time. I mean to take half an hour to work out the concept is not an option. 2/3

Thought 68 Time is always short for creative tasks If you have a visual concept, research or creative task to do, I suggest you clear your calendar for it in advance. 1/3

The non-transparent process can lead to inflated expectations of the client in terms of time, so it is important to clearly specify the stages of work and fix agreements in writing. https://t.co/dvyZ9rjOws

The diamond is the symbol of Sketch ( https://t.co/qdr77Mbt0N). But right now it doesn't sparkle like a diamond should. Let's try to fix that. On the left is the current icon. On the right is the one with the shining diamond. https://t.co/GxZErZJzS3 #icon #app #sketch #redesign

Bank of Ceylon has a mobile app. It seems that Sri Lanka's main bank deserves a much more modern interface. It is what became the first instance of the Redesign Initiative. https://t.co/tBwguyLbuY #design #bank #srilanka #island #interface #application #redesign #app #ui

Even if it's some super-hypermega-corporate thing with a lot of databases and tables, where usually everyone wants to put aesthetics aside. It's used by people too. 3/3

This is reasonable when you receive dozens of such messages a day. But for rare and complex actions (for example, a couple of times a week) you can show the user something that will really look like a small reward for his work. 2/3

Thought 67 Reward the user In most interfaces, the most a user will get for their hard work is a text message about a successful action. Fewer users will also see a checkmark next to it. Even fewer will see a bigger checkmark or even an illustration. #designerthoughts 1/3

Veronika Panfilova talked about video game development: how quickly plagiarism appears in Steam (a couple of weeks) or how to make Roblox for 3 million Russian rubles and 5 months (no way) 🤷‍. She writes: https://t.co/DYbHOIx9Bj #performance #videogames #games #development
